💖 BAZAAR(1) — the user manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for bazaar, straight out of the User Manual section, and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am. no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

bazaar — a whole new Flatpak App Store, with Adwaita and GTK4 doing the absolute most 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bazaar [OPTION]...

literally just bazaar and whatever options you wanna throw at it. that's the whole vibe check.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. Bazaar is a new app store for GNOME, and its entire main character energy is about discovering and installing applications and add-ons from Flatpak remotes — especially Flathub, periodt.

the thing that makes it iconic? it genuinely emphasizes supporting the developers who make the Linux desktop possible. like, the people. the humans. slay. 🫶 and it has a "curated" tab that distributors can configure so the whole experience feels more localized — cute, tailored, obsessed.

Bazaar is fast and highly multi-threaded, which guarantees a smooth experience in the user interface ✨. you can queue up as many downloads as you want and run them all while you're perusing Flathub's latest releases, no problem. why? because the UI is completely decoupled from all backend operations. the way that works is honestly genius.

it runs as a service, so state is maintained even if you close all your windows 😭 (yes, all of them). and it implements the gnome-shell search provider dbus interface. also, a krunner plugin is available if you're on the KDE Plasma desktop. everyone gets a lil something. 💜

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --help — prints the help message and exits. that's it, that's the whole thing. 🎀
  • --no-window — makes sure the service is running without creating a new window. lowkey the polite way to do it.
  • --extra-blocklist — adds an extra blocklist to read from. 🚫
  • --extra-curated-config — adds an extra yaml file with which to configure the app browser. 📄
  • --extra-content-config — adds an extra yaml file with which to configure the app browser, kept around for backwards compatibility. ngl, it's the older sibling of the option above. 💀

💀 real talk warning: Bazaar runs as a service, so even when you close every single window, state is still out there, maintained, existing. she's always watching. (affectionately.)
